Henri Cartier-Bresson: Here and Now Details
Review “The glories of [Cartier-Bresson’s] long career are beautifully curated by Clément Chéroux in Henri Cartier-Bresson: Here and Now, with almost every image indelible, even the images he shot in private.” - The Wall Street Journal“Substantial and inclusive. . . . the standard narrative of the photographer, in which he moves from early surrealist concerns into photojournalism, becomes instead a narrative of diverse influences and concerns, ideals resonating and evolving across images. . . . The comprehensiveness and quality of this latest monograph distinguishes it as a significant contribution.” - Publishers Weekly“Manages to somewhat reconfigure [Henri Cartier-Bresson's] life. Chéroux...demonstrates that social concern was a feature of Cartier-Bresson's work from the beginning and, by including a great many lesser-known, non-magazine pictures, shows that his modernist panache never went away.” - The New York Times Book Review“With rare and previously unpublished images. . . . The first retrospective since Cartier-Bresson’s death.” - PDN“Provides a broad view of Cartier-Bresson’s long career.” - ARTnews“It’s all here, in black-and-white and color―the photos of poverty, of scenes in various countries, the news photos of breaking incidents and so on.” - Women's Wear Daily“The main effort here seems to be to separate Cartier-Bresson from the legacy of The Decisive Moment with which he has been so closely associated. Yes, he did formulate that philosophy but he was many other things as well: surrealist, activist, war prisoner, fugitive, international wanderer, communist, filmmaker, Magnum founder, reporter… All of these facets and more are explored in the book.” - Photo-Eye“It’s hard to believe that Cartier-Bresson . . . still has work out there that is largely unseen. But printed in the 416 pages of this photographic compilation are familiar and unknown pieces, printed in color and in Cartier-Bresson’s signature black-and-white.” - Rangefinder“Includes many less familiar and previously unpublished photographs; rare color work; a sampling of drawings, paintings and collages; and numerous portraits of the notoriously camera-shy Frenchman. . . .The Cartier-Bresson that emerges from Chéroux’s text is a fuller and more accessible personality than has heretofore been revealed.” - Black & White“Phenomenal.” - The Arts by Karena Read more About the Author Cle´ment Che´roux is a historian of photography and curator of the 2014 retrospective exhibition at the Centre Pompidou, Paris.

Reviews
One of the most beautiful and complete books on the life and work of Henri Cartier-Bresson. Edited by Clément ChérouxA fascinating collection of his production and also a peek on the impact it had on the story of the twentieth century.For the admirers of this great photographer, this is a must have.It goes by itself that item is quite bulky and heavy, yet the content makes up for that. Worth up to the last penny. Highly recommended.
